Lionel Union Pacific Dash 8-40c Question
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, May 11, 2007 6:57 PM

I dont know whats goin on with the thing, I bought it off of Ebay a year ago. It ran great up until about these past few months. When I run the locomotive, For the first 2 or 3 minutes one of the motors makes a horible (real quick on off) scraping sound. Then after that it stops. The gears are all lubed properly, you can still see all the grease the previous owner put on it. Does anyone know whats goin on with this loco? I would like to get it running right as it is a good puller for me, (When it runs right of course)      Thanks Alot, Dillon

Have you pulled the shell and inspected the motors yet?
